How it works
Enter your actual planning assumptions, review the estimate, and keep it current as plans change.
- Choose the celebration type and enter Expected guests so the starting plan reflects your event.
- Enter Total budget ($) as your maximum planning target, then choose Balanced or the Priority that matters most to you.
- Click Update Estimate and review the suggested category allocations and per-guest figures. These are starting targets, not vendor quotes or a record of payments.
- Change the budget, guest count or priority and update again to compare a realistic alternative before committing to bookings.
- Use Print / Save PDF to open the PDF preview of the current estimate. Review the report, then choose Download PDF to keep a copy or Print for a paper copy.
- Use Save Progress to keep these inputs in your planner account and check for the success confirmation. Sign in or create an account if prompted; revisit Saved Progress in your Planner Dashboard to continue. Reset returns the calculator to its default inputs.
